Adaline Neural Network

ADALINE (Adaptive Linear Neuron or later Adaptive Linear Element) is an early single-layer artificial neural network and the name of the physical device that implemented this network.

The network uses memistors. It is based on the McCulloch–Pitts neuron. It consists of a weight, a bias and a summation function.

The difference between Adaline and the standard (McCulloch–Pitts) perceptron is that in the learning phase the weights are adjusted according to the weighted sum of the inputs (the net). In the standard perceptron, the net is passed to the activation (transfer) function and the function’s output is used for adjusting the weights.

Adaline is a multiple layer neural network with multiple nodes where each node accepts multiple inputs and generates one output. Given the following variables:as
